... these vessels in Sabetta, providing accessibility and operability year round, with the ice management being essential during most of the year. It requires: – an optimized design of dredged channels in the north of Ob river and to access the port of Sabetta, – a sheltering of the jetties of the port...

... modeling demonstrates ice management with a race track. The distribution of ice floes, open channels, and time history of ice force caused by the icebreaker's ice management are obtained numerically. Example calculations demonstrate that the proposed numerical model can be useful to identify an efficient...

... of the direction of ice action, as well as the responses of the drillship to ice action. Ongoing research projects aim to clarify the manner in which stationkeeping performance, of both moored and DP controlled vessels, is influenced by ice cover conditions, ice management, characteristics of the mooring system...

... ABSTRACT Ice drift measurements are needed to support ice management and navigation in arctic and sub-arctic regions where pack ice and/or icebergs are present. A method is described which can provide real time measurement of ice drift during operations, or can be used to analyze historical...

... by two icebreakers; Smit Sakhalin and Magadan. The ice operation was managed by an ice management team, which developed for this operation specific ice management techniques based on offshore ice operational experiences in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. The operation lasted six weeks in the presence...

... with a permanent radar and a real time weather station. With the Ice Monitoring Station, the CCG can now measure ice thickness, concentration and speed in real-time. This paper describes what makes the station so successful and presents some preliminary measurements. 1. ICE MANAGEMENT ON THE ST-LAWRENCE RIVER...

... for Ice Management Sveinung Loeset SINTEF Norwegian Hydrotechnical Laboratory Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT 'This paper briefly describes a two-dimensional discrete element model which simulates the dynamics and interaction forces between dis- tinct ice floes in a broken ice field. The broken ice field...
